Great every day watch	December 7, 2018
Reviewer: Todd W from Colorado Springs, CO United States

Comfortable, great looking watch! Bezel doesn't turn the easiest but it's not a "true" divers watch. Great deal on a fantastic watch! Amazing service to match!

Island was Great. The Watch is Meh...	December 7, 2018
Reviewer: Peter I. from Grand Rapids, MI United States

Outstanding service from IW. No complaints there.
I have to admit however that the watch itself is underwhelming. It is much cheaper looking in person then the pictures led me to believe. Spinnaker seems to be in dire need of better quality control. The bezel has a huge amount of play in it, the applied six o'clock marker is laughably off center and the finish on the second hand is very rough. I understand that this is a modestly priced piece but for the amount of YouTube love it has been getting I was hoping for something a bit nicer.

Nice watch for the price	December 1, 2018
Reviewer: Dana from SANTA CLARITA, CA United States

This is a nice watch for the price. I love the colors, and the grey dial looks good in the sunlight. Almost went with the black case/blue dial, but glad I opted for the silver case/grey dial. The edges on the bottom of the case are fairly sharp - would be nice if Spinnaker beveled them. The strap is ok - nothing to write home about, but not bad either and fairly comfortable. The sapphire glass is a nice touch at this price point, although I would've paid a little extra for some AR coating. The lume looks amazing, but I wish it lasted a bit longer, especially on the bezel. The bezel is a little stiff (not bad, and no slop in it either), but not a very aggressive grip on the edge....however, the bezel does look really good. Watch seems to run 2 to 4 seconds slow per day since I've been paying attention to it. All in all, I would definitely buy this watch again and enjoy wearing it.....it's a solid daily driver IMO
